Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You know, in keeping with their emotional reversals and changes, I think it would at this point be worse for Sam to have Dean die, than for Dean to have Sam die.

I'll explain later when I'm not in the middle of rearranging my manicure station. (Which Bev and Cass have both seen, and know is a HUGE freaking task.)

Because books.

I think, sort of maybe, if Sam died for the right reasons? As in, sacrifice, saving the world, Dean could, at this point, be okay with having him gone. And would keep on keeping on for however long he had, because even if the world gets saved, my bet is there will still be things to hunt and people to save.

Sam ... I think Sam's going to be pretty worn out at the end of this, if he survives. While I'm not sure suicide is something he would do (even if, unlike earlier, living without Dean, when he had a reason not to, i.e. getting Dean back and finding Lilith), I don't think he would live peacefully or well without Dean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't see a reason for Dean to die in service of saving the world, whereas how things are set up, Sam might have to. So Dean might be able to resolve himself to that particular tragedy, but could Dean deal with the reverse?

But I think it would be no easy deal for Dean to move on either, just less impossible, for all possible values of that.

Oh, I agree. But I think whereas Sam's been focused so long on the end of the world and the particular demons/hunt, Dean began to grieve a while ago, for everything he's lost, including Sam's innocence and the relationship they used to have.

He also had forty years in hell to be without Sam, or anyone he loved, and I think that might make it a little easier for him to get through the rest of his life without Sam.

I agree with Amy. Hell, I think if nothing else, the notion that his eventual destination might still be back down in hell would keep Dean alive, if not especially functional.

I'm stupidly excited for Monday morning and the pilot on TNT at 10 a.m. Like I don't own the DVDs and could watch it whenever I want. Um.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

D'oh! Thanks for the heads up! (And me too on the DVDs. Still.)

One of the joys of working at home for me, for sure. No getting out the DVDs, just changing the channel, and instant Winchesters on my screen!

I'm unreasonably excited.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You'll have to keep track of the cuts. Those early eps will probably make even less sense with the extra ad minutes cut out.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I also have the dvds but am unreasonably excited about the TNT premiere. Our little boys are going into syndication. Ima set the recorder now.

ION, the trickster episode rocked again tonight with the reveal of Gabriel. Much Speight love. And you know, I didn't cringe when they were doing Caruso. I just smiled at the silly little silly heads.
